Our mission

Save Temecula is a volunteer-led, community coalition, currently filing as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It was formed in response to SDG&E's proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink, a massive 500-kV transmission project that would significantly impact the safety, environment, economic well-being, health, and quality of life of Temecula Valley — while providing no direct benefit to our community.

We believe the people who live here should have a meaningful voice in decisions that will affect our community for generations.

Our mission is to educate, inform, and engage residents regarding the proposed Powerlink and its potential impacts on Temecula. Through research, public education, community outreach, coalition-building, and participation in regulatory processes, we work to ensure that residents have access to accurate information and meaningful opportunities to participate in decisions affecting their community.

When residents are organized, informed, and actively engaged, decision-makers must answer difficult questions, alternatives be examined, and communities cannot be ignored. There is precedent: mobilized communities have pushed back successfully in the past.

We are committed to bringing transparency to the process, scrutinizing the facts, evaluating alternatives, and empowering residents to make their voices heard at every stage of the process. We believe that public agencies, regulators, and project proponents should be accountable to the communities their decisions affect.

Temecula is not simply a corridor on a utility map. It is a community of families, neighborhoods, schools, businesses, churches, open spaces, and ecologically and culturally sensitive areas that people have invested years into building and protecting.

Together, we can Save Temecula.
